"The Long Earth" - Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter
2023-06-25 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Online event
Hi everyone,
We’ve been working to find a way to get Sir Terry Pratchett into the rotation and I’m glad to see you all agree. This was the first month with “The Long Earth” on the poll and it was picked by a wide margin. So let’s get into it!
Book of the Month
The Long Earth – Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter (2012)
Stephen Baxter, who is a well-established sci fi author in his own right, and Pratchett collaborated a number of times before Pratchett’s death in 2015. “The Long Earth” is widely considered some of their best work together. The story revolves around a string of alternate Earths, all within the same spacetime as our world, and the ability to “step” between those worlds. In their review of the novel, [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jun/20/long-earth-terry-pratchett-stephen-baxter-review) found it to be “much more like a Baxter novel than a Pratchett one.” It does not lean as hard on Pratchett’s sense of humor for the engine of the story. It was also said to be “a charming, absorbing and somehow spacious piece of imagineering.”

"The End of Eternity" - Isaac Asimov
2023-07-16 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
We have another dimensional, time-travel novel for August from another heavy hitter of science fiction. “The End of Eternity” is a novel about Eternals, whose job is to range through past and present and manage their cause-and-effect relationships.
Book of the Month
The End of Eternity – Isaac Asimov (1955)
“Eternity” works as a futuristic thriller and is particularly effective as a straight-up mystery novel. Where time travel and multiple realities can get muddy, Asimov manages this story with grace and clarity. Many consider it to be one of his greatest novels.

Upper Peninsula Golf Trip - 8/14/23 thru 8/19/23
2023-08-14 17:00 - 2023-08-18 16:00 | Island Resort & Casino, W 399 U.S. Rte 2, Harris, MI, 49845, us
Merry Christmas all…!!! I can’t believe the weather up there…I hope you are all staying warm. Here is the initial info on next year’s UP golf trip. I have reserved 10 rooms and tee times to accommodate 16 golfers. I will update with current info soon but at least you have the dates for planning purposes. Thx.
Greetings,
Last years golf trip to the UP was a fantastic time with great weather, golf and dining! I’m planning it again for late August. Island Resort and Casino is located in Harris, just west of Escanaba. They have some great golf packages. I’m looking at 4 nights and 4 golf courses. The golf courses are Sage Run, Sweetwater, Greywalls in Marquette and Timberstone in Iron Mountain. The price for a single is $680. If you double up in a room the price is $520/ea. These prices are all inclusive meaning golf and lodging. This is a GREAT price as Greywalls alone is $180. Timberstone goes for $129. All of the courses are fantastic and play well for all skill levels. There are some great restaurants in Escanaba. Cancelations are allowed up to 48 hours before arrival. I have done this package before and I can tell you the rooms are comfortable and the golf is first class. I’m looking at the 3rd week in August…staying the nights of the 14th – 17th and golfing the 15th – 18th.
Give it some serious thought, it is a dream trip. I am open to taking a few passengers and car pooling. I will probably head up early and golf a few courses in the Gladstone area but everyone can obviously do what best fits their schedule.
